It's not possible to see everyone, and that's okay.


there is also a shuttle that runs from Republic Square to the festival and you can get cheap parking downtown using apps like ParkWhiz (last year I paid $15/day).


You don't have to go at 11 when the park opens. Eat breakfast and lunch at home and head over before 3-4! Food is $$$.


Bring: comfy shoes, a small backpack (check the website for rules), sunscreen, refillable water bottle, etc.


The app isn't perfect, but download your schedule either to the app or a screenshot before you go. An extra 50,000 people doesn't help cell reception.

I got a free ticket last minute on Sunday and threw it together last minute. The 4th and Congress garage was $10 for all day parking via ParkWhiz. On the way we caught a pedicab for $20 total. Unless it rains this week, it will be DUSTY so bring a banana or mask.


It'll be super crowded if you want to see Chappell Roan so come early and be prepared to exist in unsafe conditions with huge trample/crush risk before the show starts.

Register your kid for the tag-a-kid and have set meeting places incase you get lost. I’ve been taking my now 9 year old since she was 4.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

When did you know your firm wasn't right for you? I'm not sure if it's just the stress of being a new attorney with a family or if my job isn't the right fit.

I can't stay late because my kids need me and I can't work on the weekends because I have to maintain my house and take care of my kids. I'm being constantly told to work harder, stay later, etc but it's not practical. Or am I not approaching this with the right mindset?
